[ltp] TP600E 2645-A3H - Installer does not recognize my hard drive

Paul,

Don't use the latest Bios upgrade (INET28WW).
Linux doesn't recognize the disk geometry with it.
Downgrade to INET25WW  available at
ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/mobiles/spsdin25.exe
as per the note posted by Keith Frechette,Linux Development Lead, Mobile
Computing Options and Software Development.

Also, Patition Magic 4.0 has a problem with ext2 partitions. Use version
5.0 available at the IBM internal site
